    net-tc: convert tc_from to tc_from_ingress and tc_redirected · bc31c905
    Willem de Bruijn authored
    The tc_from field fulfills two roles. It encodes whether a packet was
    redirected by an act_mirred device and, if so, whether act_mirred was
    called on ingress or egress. Split it into separate fields.
    
    The information is needed by the special IFB loop, where packets are
    taken out of the normal path by act_mirred, forwarded to IFB, then
    reinjected at their original location (ingress or egress) by IFB.
    
    The IFB device cannot use skb->tc_at_ingress, because that may have
    been overwritten as the packet travels from act_mirred to ifb_xmit,
    when it passes through tc_classify on the IFB egress path. Cache this
    value in skb->tc_from_ingress.
    
    That field is valid only if a packet arriving at ifb_xmit came from
    act_mirred. Other packets can be crafted to reach ifb_xmit. These
    must be dropped. Set tc_redirected on redirection and drop all packets
    that do not have this bit set.
    
    Both fields are set only on cloned skbs in tc actions, so original
    packet sources do not have to clear the bit when reusing packets
    (notably, pktgen and octeon).
